LOCATION CONFERENCE

The Conference will be held at a former Monastery (nowadays 'Leerhotel Het Klooster'). Students learn on a Action Learning way their skills in the fields of gastronomy and hospitality.

As much learning happens in the hallway between sessions as in the workshop sessions themselves. All the session rooms are co-located to make transitions between sessions seamless as well as to maximize the amount of time you have to “unpack” what you have learned during keynotes and workshops.

HEART OF THE NETHERLANDS

Amersfoort..... the biggest
surprises of The Netherlands!

Amersfoort is located in the middle of the country and is perhaps the most diverse city in The Netherlands. With a historic center, social events, beautiful architecture and where you also can take a canal tour!

Time left? Take a boattrip on authentic Botter and/or explore the Dutch culture in the old village Spakenburg (10 km).
A Unesco heritage listed village were people still wear traditional clothing.
